strikes the tip 18 and is forced up into the position indicated in Fig. 2, the tooth 34: slipping under and by the tooth'39 until it catches in the notch 38, thus locking the jaws on opposite sides of the tip and enabling them to grasp it-the parts being then in the As the hunter continues to move, the dog 23 is swung into the position. indicated. in Fig. 3, and the arm 21 is swung down as shown in said figure, the downward swinging 0f said. arm causing the lower end ot the portion 37 of the bent arm 36 to come into contact with the shuttlebox 12- and to yield and. he forced up against the power ot the spring ell) into the position indicated in said Fig. 3, releasing the cam 3i by lifting the tooth 39 out of engagement with the tooth 34, and thus freeing the bob bin or filling-carrier from the tip-grasping jaws 3; and 29. The automatic-mechanism is timed so that when theparts are in the position indicated in Fig. l the lay is back to its farthest point, as is also the crank, and as the parts leave the position shown in Fig. l the shuttle starts from its box at the left toward the right end of the loom; when the parts are in the position indicated in Fig. the lay a little more than one-halt the distance of its throw forward and the crank isdown; when the parts have reached the position indicated in Fig. .lthe lay is hirward and the crank is half way up; when the crank is swinginp up on the third quarter of its turn the lay is swinging back and arrives one-halt the way back when the crank has reached its highestpoint; and when the crank is moving rearward on the last quarter of its turn the replenished shuttle is returning to its box at the lel't end ol the loom-. all of which movements are produced by 'n'iechanisn i well known in the art and substantially described. in United States Letters Patent numbered 713-'l,l2l and (547,918.

llavine; thus l'ully deserihcd my invention, what i rim, and'desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

l. in a transferring; mechanism for autonat c iillhug-replenishing looms, a rockingrm, :1. ilownwardl extending bar rigid on the melting-arm and terminating in a staionary jaw adapted to extend into the shut tic, an arm pivoted to said bar and adapted. to extend over the sl\t1ttl(.-l)()) a movable jaw pivoted to the said bar on the sameplanc as the arm, and means for holding; the arm against the outer edge of the movable jaw until said arm is relatively raised by contact with the shuttle-box as the two jaws descend into the shuttle.

2. In a transferring mechanism for auto matic tilling-replenishingloorns, a rockingarm, a downwardly extending bar rigid on the rocking arm and terminating in astation- 'ary jaw adapted to extend into the shuttle,

an arm pivoted to said bar and adapted to extend over the shuttle-box, a movable aw pivoted to the said bar on the same plane as the arm, means for holding the arm against the outer edge of the movable jaw when the arm is above the shuttle, means for locking the two jaws as they descend on opposite sides of the filling-carrier tip and holding the sanie in locked position until said arm is relatively raised by contact with the shuttle-box as the two jaws descend into the shuttle.

S. in a transferring mechanism for automatic filling-replenishing looms, a rockingarm, a downwardly extending; bar'rigid on the rocking-arm and terminating in a stationary jaw adapted to extend into the shut tle, an arm pivoted to said bar and located over the shuttle-box, a cam pivoted to the said bar and provided with a downwardly extending jaw which is movable with relation to the stationary jaw' and further provided with an extension which is normally over the filling-carrier tip, and oppositely projecting teeth formed on the adjacent edges of said cam and arm, whereby the said parts provided with the teeth are locked together when the jaws are grasping the tip but are separated when the jaws descend into the shuttle by the relative raising of said arm.

l. In a transferring mechanism for automatic tilling-replenishing looms, a rockingarm, a downwardly extending bar rigid on the rocking-arm and formed with a downwardly extending and inwardly curved stationary jaw, a cam pivoted.- he said bar and comprisingann nvardlye riding tooth, a downwardly exteni'linp inwardly curved movable jaw and a substantially horizontal extension over the filling-carrier tip, an arm pivoted to the bar above the cam and provided with a downwardly extending tooth and formed downward toward and above one side of the shuttle-box anda spring holding said arm normally down against the cam, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
